Understand the Risk

What question are we answering?

What level of earthquake hazard should I be designing for?

Whether you're designing new infrastructure, reviewing an existing asset or undertaking a dam safety assessment, understanding the seismic hazard is often the starting point.

The challenge is not simply calculating ground motions.

The challenge is understanding what those results mean for your asset and how they should influence design, risk and decision-making.

How OzRocks Can Help

  • Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessments (PSHA)

  • Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessments (DSHA)

  • Time History Analysis (THA)

  • Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment (PFDHA)

  • Seismic Source Characterisation

  • Ground Motion Models

  • Site-specific hazard studies

The Outcome

The goal isn't simply to provide numbers.

The goal is to provide information that can be understood, trusted and applied to real engineering decisions.

“Vicki-Ann provided high-quality PSHA studies in two of my earthquake design projects in Southeast Asia. We also co-authored an article on modelling Southeast Asian subduction zones for seismic assessments. I recommend her for consultancy work that requires a deep understanding of seismology and a proactive approach to problem-solving.”
